Should I take this nanny job? Pros and cons?

Hi, I totally understand where you're coming from. I have been a nanny for 5 years, I enjoy it but I am also ready to move on to something else. From personal experience, I have worked for stay at home parents or better work from home parents, which in my opinion doesn't make any sense whatsoever. With that I haven't had very good experience. Mom was in the basement and the kids were with me upstairs and didn't listen at all. I also wasn't comfortable having them there, because it always felt like somebody was watching me. I'm glad I'm not there anymore. It was definitely an experience I wouldn't want to give back but 4 out of 5 days sucked big time. I'm part time nannying now for a fantastic family and I have had one of the parents home the occasional time but those kids listen to me whether mom or dad are home or not, which I absolutely love. I also get along great with the parents. So it really depends on how you get along with them and what they expect from you. Make sure you ask them what they expect you to do, get them to write down their daily schedule (playtime, mealtime, snacks etc.) and then you can figure out if you can provide for the kid the way they want you to. When people ask me if I would recommend being a nanny I would say yes. It teaches you a lot about yourself and I know that I would be just fine raising my own children. But it's also not an 'easy' job. There will be days when the kids push your buttons and the next day they will be perfect angels. Best advice I ever got: Pick your battles ;) All the best!

Sounds like too many cons for you. I would give the jobseekers a chance and wait for more replies. You will only end up frustrated if you take this job. OR, on the other side, you can also look at it as temporary and just go for it knowing it has an end. In life we all have to do some jobs we are not exactly thrilled with, but it gets you through to your next phase. If they pay well, it may be worth considering since they contacted you right away and I'm sure had a lot of other people to choose from. You should go meet with them, but surely DO NOT feel pressured to take the job if you are really not comfortable with it. It's ok to say no! Good luck!

Children need someone to look up to. If her parents aren't their enough, you could be the person their for her. If you think the bus ride is worth it, then do it. Children follow their parents foot steps, and most parents see the Nanny as someone who works as a elder sibling in a way, the child should listen to you while the mother is there, and if the child knows right from wrong you shouldn't have any problems.
